What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this sealer for its ease of application, fast drying time, and exceptional finish quality. The water-based formula applies smoothly with minimal effort and dries quickly enough to complete projects in one day. Reviewers consistently describe the resulting surface as glass-like and remarkably smooth, ideal for both beginners and experienced woodworkers. The easy soap-and-water cleanup and lack of harsh fumes are major advantages. A few note the sealer raises wood grain and may require extra coats, while some mention slight yellowing on lighter woods, though these are viewed as manageable trade-offs.

It works great!
Would RecommendI bought this for the first time to use on some birch plywood panels that make the interior parts of some cabinets. I followed the instructions on the can, and the results were better than expected. The surfaces are amazingly smooth. I applied two coats of polyurethane, and no additional sanding was needed.

Great product for porous wood
Would RecommendThis product was a perfect fit for sealing up a wood product that is very difficult to build up finish on. After just one coat this product allowed each coat of finish to go on without being absorbed so quickly.

So easy
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This floor sealer was so easy to use. I had noticed that it was time to reseal the hardwood floors. The packaging has very easy to follow instructions. It was super easy to open and close which I liked and a little went a very long way. The smell was not that bothersome either.

Good sealer
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Its quick dry feature allows for sealing and topcoating your project in just one day. Can be used on unstained, bare wood floors, furniture, doors and cabinets. Seals wood grain to provide a more even finish topcoat.

Great product
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this on my 50 year old hope chest I refinished. It took a little longer to dry than expected but nothing major. It helped seal any spot that may have been uneven. I'll definitely use this on other projects. Easy to use.
